1t is an anodyne expectorant, and, II
promptly taken, in cases Of Coughs,
Throat or Lung troubles, soothes and
heals the irritated tissues, and quickly
allays all tendency to Consumption.
Six years ago, I contracted a severe
Cold, which settled on my Lungs, and
soon developed all the alarming symp-
toms of Consumption. 1 had Cough,
Night Sweats, Bleeding Lungs, Pain in
my Chest and Sides, and was so COM
pletely Frustrated, as to be confined to
my bed most of the time. After trying
various prescriptions, without benefit,
my physician finally determined to give
me Ayers Cherry Pectoral. I took it,
and the effect was magical. ] seemed
